Course Overview

This EWP course is a legal requirement for anyone who operates a boom type Elevating Work Platform 11 metres and over. If you do not have a High Risk Work Licence class WP, you must enrol in a formal training course, delivered by a Registered Training Organisation, such as Cobra1 to undertake training and assessing in line with State Regulatory requirements. When you have achieved sufficient skills and competencies, you will be eligible to apply for a licence assessment by a SafeWork NSW accredited assessor. Weekly boom lift training courses are held at our Wetherill Park training facility and a Scissor Lift Yellow Card ticket can be done in conjunction with this course at a discounted cost.

Theory and practical competency progress assessments are conducted during the course and a HRW licence assessment is conducted on the final day, if you have reached the required skill level.
